Davidson County · 37013
Antioch
Antioch is a large area of southeast Davidson County, roughly 12 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, organized around the I-24 corridor and the Bell Road, Murfreesboro Pike, and Nolensville Pike arterials. It spans the 37013 ZIP code — one of Tennessee's most populous — and ranges from older corridor and commercial development near Bell Road to newer, hillier subdivisions in the Cane Ridge sub-area to the southeast. Because 37013 is so large, conditions, housing stock, and prices vary widely block to block, and most useful evaluation happens at the specific-address level rather than the ZIP level.
Map
Lifestyle
Antioch's daily texture is corridor-and-subdivision rather than walkable village: big-box and strip retail along Bell Road and Murfreesboro Pike, established and newer residential subdivisions off the arterials, and a growing set of public anchors clustered at the former Hickory Hollow Mall site — now home to Nashville State Community College's Southeast campus, the Ford Ice Center, the Southeast Community Center, and a Nashville Public Library branch. Two large Metro parks and quick I-24 access round out the practical draws.
Global Mall at the Crossings site (former Hickory Hollow Mall)
The 78-acre former-mall site east of I-24 at Bell Road, acquired by Metro Nashville in 2022 and the subject of a Metro Planning master-plan study; it already houses several public anchors.
Nashville State Community College — Southeast campus
A community-college campus inside the former-mall complex on Hickory Hollow Parkway.
Ford Ice Center Antioch
A Predators-affiliated twin-rink ice facility at the former-mall site, a daily-recreation anchor for southeast Nashville.
Southeast Community Center & Library
A Metro community center and a Nashville Public Library branch at the Hickory Hollow Parkway complex.
Mill Ridge Park
A 622-acre Metro park that opened August 16, 2023, across from Cane Ridge High School; it includes what Metro Parks describes as the largest playground in Davidson County, a five-story climbing tower, trails, sports courts, and an event lawn.
Cane Ridge Park
A Metro park at 419 Battle Road in the southern Cane Ridge area, with picnic shelters and recreation.
Honest read
Antioch's clearest strength is relative value plus access. ZIP-level pricing runs well below Nashville's close-in neighborhoods, the housing stock includes a large supply of newer subdivision construction in the Cane Ridge sub-area, and I-24 puts both downtown and the Murfreesboro job corridor within a single highway. A cluster of public investment — Nashville State's Southeast campus, the Ford Ice Center, the community center and library, and the 622-acre Mill Ridge Park that opened in 2023 — has added amenities the area historically lacked.
The tradeoffs are distance, traffic, and variability. Antioch is one of Nashville's farther-out areas: off-peak routing to downtown is about 12 to 15 miles and 20 to 25 minutes from the Antioch and Cane Ridge cores, but that is the uncongested number — the I-24 inbound commute is a well-known rush-hour bottleneck, so real commute times run materially higher at peak (verify for any specific address and schedule). The Bell Road, Murfreesboro Pike, and Nolensville Pike corridors carry heavy arterial traffic. And because 37013 is so large, the area is genuinely not uniform — older corridor-adjacent housing and newer hillside subdivisions sit inside the same ZIP, so block-by-block evaluation matters more here than in a compact neighborhood.
Geography and flood history are real factors on the north and central side. Mill Creek runs through Antioch and was the site of some of the most severe 2010 flooding in Nashville — the creek overtopped and covered I-24 near Bell Road, and the Mill Creek at Antioch gauge set a record crest of 26.10 feet. Mill Creek remains one of the city's named higher-flood-risk corridors; Metro has since done buyouts, greenway conversion, and elevation-code changes in flood-prone zones. Flood-zone status is parcel-specific, so any address near Mill Creek or its tributaries should be checked against the FEMA flood map before purchase. The honest read: Antioch offers space, newer construction, and value that close-in Nashville cannot match, but commute distance, corridor traffic, internal variability, and localized flood geography are the costs that come with it.
Micro-geography
Antioch is a broad southeast-county geography, not a compact corridor neighborhood. Its map is organized by I-24, the Bell Road / Murfreesboro Pike / Nolensville Pike arterials, the Mill Creek corridor, and a distinction between the older, more commercial central and northern area and the newer, hillier Cane Ridge sub-area to the southeast.
Corridor-and-subdivision layout
The area's structure is arterial corridors — Bell Road, Murfreesboro Pike, Nolensville Pike, Old Hickory Boulevard, Hobson Pike, Cane Ridge Road — lined with retail and subdivisions, rather than a single walkable core. Exact pocket matters because land use and housing age change quickly along the corridors.

Cane Ridge sub-area
Cane Ridge is the southeastern portion of 37013, generally characterized by newer housing stock and hillier terrain relative to the older commercial corridors of central Antioch. The Metro study area is described as bounded by Bell Road and Mt. View Road on the north, the county line on the east and south, and Nolensville Pike on the west.

ZIP caveat
37013 is one of Tennessee's most populous ZIP codes. It is far larger and more varied than any single subdivision, so ZIP-level stats are context, not a property-level measurement.

Getting around
Antioch is highway-oriented: I-24 is the spine, and most trips route through Bell Road or Hickory Hollow Parkway to the interstate. Off-peak distances to downtown and the airport are moderate for a southeast-county location, but corridor traffic and the I-24 rush-hour bottleneck are the defining daily-logistics facts.
Downtown access
Off-peak baseline routing from the Antioch core (Bell Road / Global Mall area) to downtown Nashville is about 12.7 miles and roughly 20 minutes; from the Cane Ridge sub-area it is about 14.7 miles and roughly 25 minutes. These are uncongested figures — the inbound I-24 peak commute runs materially longer.

Airport access
Off-peak baseline routing from the Antioch core to Nashville International Airport (BNA) is about 7.2 miles and roughly 15 minutes, generally via I-24 and Briley and Donelson connectors.

Arterial traffic
Bell Road, Murfreesboro Pike, and Nolensville Pike are heavily trafficked retail arterials; daily logistics depend on which corridor an address feeds onto and how it reaches I-24.

Internal variability
Because the area is large, two Antioch addresses can have very different commute and convenience profiles depending on corridor, I-24 interchange, and position relative to Cane Ridge versus the central corridors.

Schools
Antioch is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, and because 37013 is so large, assignment is strongly address-specific — including which high school zone a given parcel falls into. Verify exact elementary, middle, and high-school assignment through MNPS before relying on any general guide.
Metro Nashville Public Schools zone finder
Use the official MNPS zoning tools for any Antioch or Cane Ridge address; the 37013 ZIP spans multiple school zones and boundaries can shift.
Cane Ridge High School
An MNPS comprehensive high school at 12848 Old Hickory Boulevard serving the Cane Ridge side; confirm assignment by address.
Antioch High School
An MNPS comprehensive high school at 1900 Hobson Pike with International Baccalaureate and career-academy programs; confirm assignment by address.
Address-specific verification
Because zone lines, programs, and choice options vary across this large ZIP, school decisions here should rest on MNPS verification for the exact property, not the Antioch or Cane Ridge name.
Market read
Antioch's numbers are 37013 ZIP-level context, not a property-level or sub-area measurement — and 37013 is unusually large, spanning older corridor housing and newer Cane Ridge subdivisions. The figures below are verified ACS estimates; a ZIP-level Redfin sale-price tracker figure (the method used on sibling pages) is a pending addition.

Development
Antioch's biggest development story is the public-led reinvention of the former Hickory Hollow and Global Mall site, alongside continued private subdivision and mixed-use construction in the Cane Ridge sub-area.
Global Mall at the Crossings redevelopment
Metro Nashville acquired the roughly 78-acre former Hickory Hollow and Global Mall site in 2022 and, through a Metro Planning study, produced a master plan envisioning roughly 2 million square feet of new development organized around existing public anchors. Status is plan-stage; confirm current phase before relying on a timeline.
Mill Ridge Park (delivered 2023)
The 622-acre Metro park opened August 16, 2023, identified by officials as filling the last county quadrant lacking a large-acreage park, as part of the 2017 Plan to Play. A delivered public amenity, not a pipeline item.
Cane Ridge subdivision construction
The Cane Ridge sub-area has seen ongoing newer single-family subdivision development by national and local builders. Specific project names, unit counts, and price points should be confirmed against current permits before being relied on.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Antioch, and how far is it from downtown Nashville?
Antioch is in southeast Davidson County, roughly 12 miles southeast of downtown along the I-24 corridor. Off-peak driving to downtown is about 20 to 25 minutes from the Antioch and Cane Ridge cores, but the inbound I-24 rush-hour commute runs materially longer; check a specific address against your own schedule.
What's the difference between Antioch and Cane Ridge?
Cane Ridge is the southeastern sub-area of the Antioch 37013 ZIP, generally characterized by newer housing stock and hillier terrain, while Antioch more broadly includes the older areas near the Bell Road and Murfreesboro Pike commercial corridors. Both share the 37013 ZIP, so evaluation is best done by specific address.
Are the market stats Antioch-only?
No. The figures are ZIP-level for 37013, which is one of Tennessee's most populous ZIP codes and spans a wide range of housing stock and prices. Use them as context and rely on property-specific comps for any individual home.
Does Antioch flood?
Parts of the area along Mill Creek have significant flood history — Mill Creek overtopped and covered I-24 near Bell Road in the May 2010 flood, setting a record crest at the Antioch gauge. Mill Creek remains one of Nashville's named higher-flood-risk corridors. Flood risk is parcel-specific, so check any address against the FEMA flood map before buying.
What amenities have been added to the area recently?
The former Hickory Hollow and Global Mall site now houses Nashville State Community College's Southeast campus, the Ford Ice Center, the Southeast Community Center, and a library branch, and Metro acquired the 78-acre property in 2022 for further redevelopment. The 622-acre Mill Ridge Park, with what Metro calls the city's largest playground, opened in 2023.
What schools serve Antioch?
Antioch is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, with assignments that vary by exact address across the large 37013 ZIP — including which high school zone (Antioch High at 1900 Hobson Pike or Cane Ridge High at 12848 Old Hickory Boulevard, among others) a parcel falls into. Verify directly with MNPS before making a school-based decision.
